Ron Paul declared his candidacy for president for the third time on Friday, "because the time has come around to the point where the people are agreeing with much of what I've been saying for thirty years, so I think the time is right."

He told George Stephanopolus on ABC's Good Morning America that he's running as a Republican, not as an independent, because it "is just about impossible" to get traction and media attention outside the party system unless "you're a billionaire like Ross Perot."

"If I was an independent, George, you would not have me on this program this morning," Paul said. "There's nothing wrong with nudging the Republicans to a true constitutional position, stick to their guns on fiscal conservatism."

I would not suppose any racist organizations will be backing Obama. Who do you think a white supremacist group is going to support. Nobody? Do you think Obama's racist church is going to back Ron? Their is racist on both sides that will vote based on that. How many black people will vote for Obama not even knowing any issues. But you wont hear that on the news because its not PC. The fact that people bring the race card up points the finger right back at them.

Ron Paul is NOT a liberal or a progressive, he is a libertarian. Before liberals start jumping on the band wagon to support him you best research his position on issues. It is no accident that during his last presidential run he was supported by several self identified white supremacist groups.

I am a progressive for Ron Paul. The point here is that both parties have formed a consensus on all the wrong things: endless (fruitless) War on terror, War on Drugs, War on consumer privacy and protection, Corporate cronyism and protectionism and welfare...

It will only change when the progressives and libertarians join together and mount a real attack on the Washington Consensus. Ron Paul is the best bet here.
